Consulting Services

It is high time that the pavements that are being designed and constructed reduce the maintenance budgets in the future and thus relieve the pressure on the tax paying public. This can only be the result of engaging the most competent consultants in the field of asphalt paving technology. I, Peter Sontowski, can provide this competent service. It's your call. The expert consultation will consist of the following topics:

1.	Consultation on asphalt concrete mix design and all design criteria.

2.	Review of specifications to ensure the best possible pavement.

3.	Pavement investigation to determine the extent of pavement distress found in town, city, county, state and provincial streets and highways.

4.	Pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction. Recommendations for the right solutions with conventional materials and the "Everlast Pavement System".

5.	Maintenance of flexible pavements, an extensive treatise on the dynamic of failures such as pothole formation, cracking and delamination, water infiltration, etc.

6.	Consultation on "Everlast" tennis courts and other sports facilities that require the "Everlast" asphalt concrete paving mix.

7.	Consultation on any and all aspects of flexible pavements and asphalt paving technology.

The consulting services that I, Peter Sontowski, can and will provide to various organizations are extensive and will be of immense value to them.

My consulting services are directed to:

1. Cities and towns
2. Counties
3. State and Provincial Transportation Departments
4. Consulting Engineers
5. Architects
6. Property and land developers
7. Industrial facilities
8. Sports facilities
9. Asphalt paving contractors
10. Schools and universities

Cities, towns and counties, state and provincial transportation departments and consulting engineers will benefit by an increased understanding of why pavements fail and how better pavements can be constructed. Property and land developers need to know how to construct longer lasting pavements for their streets and parking lots.

Industrial facilities whether old or new require pavements that will not fail prematurely but will perform for many years. They should require only minimal maintenance. Upgrades and reconstruction of prematurely failed pavements will require new approaches in order to perform better. The last thing industrial facilities need is repeated shutdowns which could affect their bottom line.

EPM Asphaltec Inc. has developed specifications for a new type of tennis court asphalt mix. A tennis court constructed this way will last longer and is easier on the joints, etc. of tennis players. EPM Asphaltec Inc. has also supplied specifications and supervised the installation of the open-graded "Everlast Paving Mix" under astro turf at a large stadium.

Present paving contractors do exceedingly well when following specification. However, they might require additional knowledge in understanding the nature of asphalt, its sources and future availability.

Schools and universities with an extensive street network as well as extensive parking facilities will require consultation on how to deal with failed pavements and how to reconstruct better and longer lasting ones.
